On Sunday, Newcastle United will play Everton in a crucial match.
Yes, this is what it all boils down to for Newcastle United. Eddie Howe’s team will guarantee Champions League status if they defeat the Toffees at St. James’ Park.
The club is playing a huge game. In addition to helping the team retain its players over the long run, qualifying for the Champions League might revolutionize Newcastle’s summer transfer market. Newcastle, Manchester City, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Nottingham Forest are all competing for three slots in the Premier League table on the final day. However, Tyneside events will not be available for UK Toon fans to watch on Sky.
Sky Sports snub Newcastle United in official announcement.
Sky Sports has revealed their TV picks for the last day of the Premier League season, which is unfortunate for Newcastle supporters. On Sunday, all 20 of the division’s teams will play, with games starting at 4 p.m. BST. However, Sky has chosen a different path instead of displaying Newcastle’s Champions League play-off.
They have stated that their TV offerings will be Liverpool’s game versus Crystal Palace, as well as Chelsea’s trip to Nottingham Forest. Liverpool wrapped up the Premier League title weeks ago, while Palace have nothing left to play for. At the very least, Chelsea’s trip to the City Ground has significant ramifications for the Champions League competition.
Newcastle United’s potential earnings if they make it to the Champions League
Reaching the first phase of the Champions League could fetch Newcastle £17 million, which would be a major boost to the team. The Everton game is also under a lot of pressure. Fail to win that and it’s hard to imagine Howe’s team qualifying.

Since this is essentially a cup final, Sky’s choice to watch Liverpool’s match is a little odd. This season, Newcastle has shown that they are capable of handling the major event. One more task needs to be finished. However, supporters who are situated in the UK and are not physically present will not be able to watch on one of the top broadcasters in the nation.
